45 minute school days and a giveaway and freebie!

{this giveaway is over}

yep, you read that right!
Friday we had a planned early release for 10am due to impending freezing rain
well it started around 8am
remember, this is the south
we are not prepped for anything white on our roads
so our principal announced that we would be releasing at 8:45
now, we have to serve lunch if students come to school
no exceptions
not even a 45 minute school day is an exception
so at 8:30 we enjoyed uncrustables {yum-O!}, raisins {yuck-O!}, and milk
they were already bagged since we were planning on the early release

so what do you when you only have 45 minutes?
well, if you rock like me, and I know you do
you progress monitor FIVE kids
I mean, I don't normally get that done in a week!
and we started on our community maps {I'll post more later!}
and we got our spelling sorts glued in since I was planning on giving the test
this is how we study on Friday mornings...glue, quiz a partner, test
wow-za!

And today we had a 2-hour delay
but alas, there was nothing that resembled precip
but I am not complaining
we had lots to catch up on

so I got home around 10am Friday and banged out the finishing touches on my newest units
really they are old units
but I revitalized them
but more on that laterBut to celebrate-here's a little freebie from my Snowed in at School pack on TpT!and if you like this-leave a comment telling me you do! I'll pick a winner tomorrow!
Happy Snow Days!!

Today, (in Oregon, Ohio) we had another 2 hour FOG delay. Last week, we had two (2 hour delays for snow and ice)....But 45 minutes? You know you rock when you can handle 45 minutes!!!JulieMs. Marciniak's First Grade Critter Cafe

I did the same thing when they announced our early recent dismissal...social studies test given, spelling word list typed/copied, homework copied, newsletter ready to send. But I didn't have to deal with lunch, thankfully!

I love it! And a 45 minute day - holy cow! That's my drive to work! I wish we had a 45 minute school day, but in South Texas, I seriously doubt it. :) You rocked that 45 minutes though - 5 kids! How did you manage the rest of them on a bizarro day? Anyway, thanks for sharing! Love the freebie!Melaniemelaniemorgan.edd@gmail.com
